The Fourth School Meal Center - Nagano, Japan

Altro flooring keeping school a step ahead

Issue

Japan’s school lunch program is a step ahead of others around the world where school children are provided lunch every day. Each day chefs cook nutritious meals for students usually consisting of carbohydrates, lean protein, vegetables and a dessert. The meals are sent to the classroom where a group of rostered students serve up the meals. They then enjoy the meal together including the teacher.

This helps children to get a real world experience and to learn about nutrition, portion control, community, and an appreciation for healthy locally made food.

Approach

Being a food production area the meal centres need to provide a high level of hygiene and safety. A kitchen can be a danger zone. With oil and food scraps falling on the floor slip and trip risks are at an all-time high. It is important to provide a high level of slip resistance and cleanability. That’s why Altro was chosen.
